Chapter 67 Say Thank You
The caretaker was weighing the chickens caught by other guests in the awning at the entrance.
Several of the guests had just watched the entire process of Xu Qingsong and his friends chasing a big rooster.
Seeing them coming back empty-handed, I asked, "Didn't you catch anything?"
Tao Huayu said: "No, we were about to block it, but we let it run away."
The guest felt sorry for them and said, "That rooster is too domineering. I think it's not easy to catch it."
The manager knew which rooster they were talking about as soon as he heard it, and said, "That rooster is like a spirit. Every guest who comes here likes it, but they can't catch it."
Yue Cheng suddenly thought: "Brother, when it comes back, can you help us catch it?"
After the manager told the customer the price, he laughed and said, "You think too highly of me. If I had caught it, would it still be alive today?"
After the guests paid and left, Xu Qingsong said, "Then please help us catch two, otherwise we won't have any food for lunch."
The administrator didn't respond, but pointed behind them, wondering if he was hallucinating: "Then, are these the cats and dogs you brought?"
Liu Wangxue and the others looked back and saw Pengpeng and Xiaoci, both of them were trotting back with their heads held high and defiant expressions.
The difference is that there is a little parrot standing on Pengpeng’s head, with green feathers, and the area around his eyes to his neck is a gradient color that transitions from orange-red to peach-pink.
What’s even more different is that Pengpeng has a chicken in his mouth!
The two came close to Liu Wangxue, and Xiao Ci pulled at her trouser legs to hug her. Liu Wangxue bent down and held it in her arms. It stepped on Liu Wangxue's arms with its paws and rubbed its head in the crook of her arms.
Everyone's attention was on the chicken, which had its wings folded together, with the base of its wings bitten tightly, and its claws curled up, its head drooping, looking hopeless. It only kicked its legs from time to time to show that it was still alive.
Xu Qingsong looked at everyone uncertainly: "Is this the one we just surrounded?"
Pengpeng wanted to crow a few times, but it couldn't let go. This chicken was too cunning. It took it and Xiaoci a lot of effort to catch it.
Liu Wangxue looked at the dog's face that looked like it was begging for praise and said, "That should be it!"
The administrator had already come out from behind the table and squatted down to take a closer look: "Wow, this is incredible!"
Peng Peng held the chicken in his mouth and passed it in front of each person, finally stopping at Shen Nian'an.
Shen Nian'an had never kept a pet, so he didn't understand what this meant and looked at Liu Wangxue for help.
Jinghe said, "It's here to comfort Youyou!"
Liu Wangxue nodded to Shen Nian'an.
Youyou had buried his face in Shen Nian'an's neck when Pengpeng came over. It was terrible. From today on, he hated grown chickens! Shen Nian'an squatted down with Youyou in his arms and said, "Look, Pengpeng and Xiaoci not only protected you, but also helped you get revenge. Shouldn't you say thank you to them?"
"Dad, I'm scared." Youyou said in a muffled voice.
The administrator laughed: "This little kid said he wasn't afraid when he first came here, what's wrong with him now?"
Tao Huayu came over and helped to coax Youyou: "Don't be afraid, uncle will braise it when we get home later. Youyou and your brother will each get a big chicken drumstick, okay?"
Youyou said, "Okay." but didn't look up.
It’s okay, I can still think about eating, so it’s not a big problem. The adults want to laugh but they have to hold it back.
Jinghe had come out of his previous emotions. He smiled and reached out, trying to dig the cute little brother out from his father's neck.
Youyou acts coquettishly but refuses to cooperate.
At this time, the parrot standing on top of Bong Bong's head spoke: "Say thank you! Say thank you!"
It immediately attracted everyone's attention. The talking parrot! Youyou raised his head and turned around to see a little parrot. He said in surprise: "Dad, a bird!"
The little parrot turned around on his head. "Say thank you! Say thank you!"
Xiaoci jumped down from Liu Wangxue's arms and also raised her head to look at Youyou.
Shen Nian'an gently rocked Youyou in his arms and said, "Baby, say thank you to your friends."
Youyou said to the two of them one by one: "Thank you, Cat! Thank you, Pengpeng!" Then she said hello to the little parrot: "Hello, little bird."
The little parrot tilted its head and blinked: "Hello! Say thank you! Say thank you!"
The little parrot didn't get a response, so he said it again. Still no response, the bird gradually became angry. After chirping a lot in bird language, he jumped to the ground and walked back the way he came. His back was filled with grief and anger.
Xiaoci chased after it, pushed the little parrot back, and continued to look at Youyou with her head held high.
The little parrot jumped onto Xiaoci's head and turned its face towards Youyou: "Hello! Say thank you!"
Youyou blinked her big eyes and looked at her father and her brother.
The adults looked at each other, not understanding what the little parrot was trying to do.
Seeing that the little parrot was about to run away in anger again, Liu Wangxue had an idea: "Youyou, say thank you to the little parrot."
Youyou looked at the little parrot hesitantly: "Thank you?"
The little parrot puffed out its chest and raised its head: "You're welcome!" Then it returned to Pengpeng's head.
"Oh my God!" Tao Huayu finally couldn't help laughing, "These two guys are such funny guys——"
Youyou saw that everyone was laughing and started laughing too.
At this time, the manager came out with a chicken with its feet tied. There was nothing good about coaxing children, so he went in and helped the group catch another one.
The administrator said, "Bring that one here and weigh it together."
Pengpeng ran to Liu Wangxue and motioned for her to take it.
Seeing that the chicken was half-dead, Liu Wangxue reached out to it without any concerns.
Xu Qingsong said: "Pinch the base of the wings."
Liu Wangxue did as she was told. When she took the chicken from Pengpeng's mouth, something unexpected happened - the rooster struggled and flapped its wings desperately. It was big in size to begin with, and Liu Wangxue was caught off guard and could not hold it.
Pengpeng and Xiaoci stared at Liu Wangxue closely, ready to pounce as soon as the chicken landed.
Xu Qingsong was standing nearby and was quick to help. He pinched the base of the chicken wing with one hand and held two chicken feet with the other hand and gave them to the administrator.
Shen Nian'an paid the money. He smiled and said, "I'm embarrassed enough for using the venue you booked today. If you don't let me pay, I'll be even more embarrassed to eat lunch."
All of them are straightforward people. They don't like to bring the social etiquette into their daily interactions. Pushing and shoving is a waste of time and makes people feel awkward and ugly.
So, after Shen Nian'an finished speaking, everyone put down their phones consciously, applauded and jokingly said, "Thank you, Boss Shen!"
Shen Nian'an was also interested. He took over this and waved his hand with a proud attitude: "Everyone, just eat and drink well!"
Small theater Big rooster: Well, you are provoking me just because you are greedy for my body!
Peng Peng: Do you have any last words? Xiao Ci: It’s useless to say them, no one will care.
Big rooster: 20 days later, I will be a brave man again, waiting for my return as the king! Little parrot: Does anyone care about me? Why don't you thank me? If I hadn't provided the information, would it have been caught? *^#_?/$%^@&< (swearing.gif)
